ISGOTT draws attention to the risk of electrostatic potential in a mist produced by using oil and water mixture in Crude Oil Washing operations. How does the Guide recommend this is avoided?
If a slop tank is to be used to supply oil to drive a Crude Oil Washing operation in a cargo tank, then that slop tank must not have contained slops with a water content of more than 2%.
